 Amazing book  with an amazing message

This is such a great book with a fantastic message about an amazing young boy. Think this is so important to read to our young people!

I really enjoyed this book, it was both fun and inspiring.

Brilliantly illustrated , it blends the imaginative adventures of a young boy, born with a difference, with his real-life adventures in dealing with the challenges brought by that difference.

Parents and their children will love it and also learn from it.
